Campus safety is an important consideration for any community. To enhance campus safety, WSSU provides an annual report to current and prospective students and employees. The information in this report can help empower members of the campus community. Students and employees can take advantage of campus resources and can make well-based decisions that impact individual as well as community safety.
Annual Security and Fire Report
Summary of the Clery, or “Right to Know” Act:
The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act mandates all colleges and universities, which receive federal financial assistance, to annually produce a report regarding campus crime and safety. Each year the updated report must be distributed to current students and employees. Prospective students and employees also must be made aware of the availability of the report.
While both the campus transparency and the Annual Security and Fire Report aim to inform the campus community, campus transparency focuses on broader institutional information and practices, while the Annual Security and Fire Report specifically addresses campus safety and crime statistics, mandated by the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act.
